Revel GEM or Wilson Cub 2 ?
"I was quite surprised, how good the Cub 1 performed in that area and need a speaker that can deliver at least 50 hz at higher volumes." Why 50 hz at high volumes? What are you purposes/uses/expectations, for the speakers? Are you planning home th... 
Thiel/Crutchfield
For the record, Thiel isn't going to sell anywhere near as many speakers, even to a bigger forum or vender like this! Their main sales needs to come from informed retail salesman, who can justify the purchase to the average customer. I used to sel... 
Thiel/Crutchfield
"Thiels are a non-mainstream sounding speaker with treble that many find downright irritable"I used to sell and own Thiels, both. The speaker's trebble isn't harsh, and infact, it's well balanced! And, infact, you need an extrememely revealing spe... 
Down-firing Sub makes floor rattle
Yeah, you're really not going to be able to solve this, other than balancing the sub out properly in the first place. Basiclally, down-firing, front-firing, slab, no slab, or even suspending the sub in mid air for that matter, isn't going to do an... 
active professional monitors for HT
M&K is closing their doors? Are you sure? People have been rummoring this for years, but they're still around. What's up? 
MultiChannel too complicated for most...
"Now...(,)before I go any further, this is not in (TO) insight a riot (,) and (OR)(TO) bombard the moderators with request(S) to have this thread pulled (,) because it "potentially offends" 2 channel lovers."Cdwallace? I count several grammer and ... 
active professional monitors for HT
I suggest, at that price range, something that's tried and true, possibly in "B stock" or used on the net, and that's the Active M&K 150 THX monitors! 
RBH sound system + Denon
Indeed, sonically, the Arcam is superb, all things considered. However, as a receiver goes, the top of line Denon stuff sounds pretty darn good. That said, you weigh the advantages of the MultEQ feature on the Denon (fixing room acoustics nightmar... 
Tube Home Theater PreAmp?
If what Drcruz said was indeed true, the word would indeed be spreading all around about not needing an outboard av pre-pro! This is not the case in my experiences. If someone want's to invite me over to check out the superiority of their system "... 
NHT T-6 speaker placement
Basically, in speaker placement, everything is a BALANCE! There are trade-offs, compromises, and factors to consider, and it all needs to balance out for best performance. Or rather, it "should", if performance matters. When it comes to rear speak... 
Anyone heard the new Krell S-1000 pre/pro
Yeah, get back to us on the "home theater auditioning", could you?! I'd be interested to know. My experience with the old HTS 5.1 was that it was superbly clean, compared to others, and yet not as dynamic perhaps as others I've auditioned, from a ... 
Best budget 5.1 surround receiver and speakers?
Used to own and sell the Marantz receivers. Never cared that much for all but the most expensive for the money, personally. The Denon's are good Value. They have the MultEQ feature, which is superb! Also, good power and and balanced sound for the ... 
Denon 4806 v. B&K AVR-507
Denon 4806 (including MultEQ) + better dedicated amp (or multi-amp) + better than B&K, performance wise! And, no, a receiver as a pre-pro isn't better in many aspects than a dedicated pre-pro. But the processing and EQ capability of the Denon ... 
Integra DTR 7.7 or Denon AVR-3806
If, like 99% of the people out there, you have serious acoustical issues, associated with typically small domestic spaces/rooms, YOU NEED THE DENON!!!! The room correction/EQ (audyssey MultEQ) is simply going to help bring the overall sound qualit... 
Paradigm Servo 15 V2
If it is at least marginally superior to it's predecessor, then they have one of the best subs ever made for the consumer market, for it's class, IMO! That sub does so well across the board (set up well, of course), that it's a no brainer/lose for...
